The Players 2026 tee times: Full R3 pairings and UK start times for third round of PGA Tour event at TPC Sawgrass

Groupings and tee times for the third round of The Players, the PGA Tour's flagship event, held at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

Ludvig Åberg heads into the weekend two strokes clear of Xander Schauffele after a stunning second-round 63, where he equalled the front-nine tournament record by reaching the turn in 29.

Cam Young and Justin Thomas are also in contention, with 2021 champion Thomas chasing his second victory at the event, while Corey Conners and Sepp Straka also late starters on Saturday as they look to close on Åberg.

73 players made it through to the weekend on two over or better, with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy stuttering their way through after finishing their second rounds with birdies.

Both players were looking to win this event for a third time but are a long way out of contention, sat 13 strokes off the halfway lead after Scheffler's second-round 73 and McIlroy's 71.
